Ring in 2023 With A Clean Office
As we bid farewell to 2022 and welcome in 2023, it’s the perfect time to give our offices a fresh start.
After all, we know that a clean and organized workspace can do wonders for our productivity and overall well-being. Yet, where do you begin when it comes to getting your office ready for the new year? Plus – it’s winter in Alberta, which means that there’s snow, silt, and double the dirt to deal with.
If you’re based in Edmonton, you’re in luck – this is the Alliance Building Maintenance team’s home base. We offer friendly and reliable commercial cleaning services in Edmonton to help you get your office in top shape.
Even if you decide to tackle the cleaning yourself, it’s important to have a game plan in place.
With that in mind, here’s a comprehensive checklist to help you start the new year off right with a clean and organized office:
Give Your Office A Thorough Deep Clean
The first step to starting the new year off on the right foot is to give your office a thorough deep clean. This means tackling those oft-overlooked nooks and crannies!
Start by wiping down desks and monitors, vacuuming carpets, and scrubbing bathrooms and kitchens. It sounds easy on paper, but if you don’t have the time or have a lot of ground to cover, consider hiring a commercial janitorial service in Edmonton, like us!
Declutter Your Desk
A cluttered desk is a surefire ticket to a cluttered mind, so take some time to tidy up your workspace.
Go through your desk and toss out old papers and documents you no longer need. Donate any office supplies that still have life in them, like an older printer or shredder that still works.
The same goes for décor, if you’ve got some outdated prints on your walls or a dusty chair, the start of a new year is a great time to donate what isn’t speaking to you anymore and fill your office with items that reflect your personality.
Take it all a step further and rearrange your workspace! If you’ve got an office, consider changing your desk around for some fresh energy.
Restock Your Office Cleaning Supplies
Be sure you have all the necessary cleaning supplies on hand to keep your office clean throughout the year. Keep ample stock of paper towels, trash bags, disinfectant wipes, and window cleaner.
Having disinfectant wipes on hand is an easy way to help keep that dreaded office flu from spreading – especially during these cold Alberta months!
Set Employee Expectations For Cleaning
To ensure that your office stays clean and organized throughout the year, make sure to establish a cleaning schedule that works for your business and for your employees.
Implement daily tasks like wiping down desks and taking out the trash, and, depending on your industry and business model, implement weekly tasks like vacuuming and scrubbing bathrooms.
When creating these cleaning requirements, remember that bigger tasks like vacuuming and deep-cleaning washrooms are likely best left to the professionals so that your employees can focus on their work. Consider outsourcing these tasks to commercial cleaning services in Edmonton to ensure the work gets done efficiently.
Check Your Air Quality
In addition to keeping a clean and organized workspace, it’s also important to consider the air quality in your office.
Poor air quality can lead to unpleasant health issues, such as headaches, allergies, and fatigue. This can increase employee sick time and can even influence employee turnover rate. Be sure to open windows to let fresh air in when weather permits and implement air purifiers.
By following these simple steps and working with a trusted commercial cleaning service in Edmonton like Alliance Building Maintenance, you can start the new year off right with a clean, organized, and healthy office space. Here’s to a successful 2023!
